How to plant cyclamen seeds

1. Planting conditions

① Time: September to October is the best time for planting;

②Soil: a mixture of equal amounts of loam, leaf mold and river sand;

③Temperature: 18-20℃.

2. Planting Method

1. Pretreatment: Before sowing, soak the seeds for germination. Soak the seeds in cold water for a day and night or in warm water at about 30°C for 2-3 hours. Then you can sow them after the seeds germinate.

2. Planting steps:

①Sowing: First, choose a shallow pot or box with small holes at the bottom, sow the seeds in the container at a distance of 1.5-2cm, and then spread a layer of 0.5-1cm thin soil.

② Water absorption: Place the flower pot on a tray, add water to the tray, soak it in water using this pot-sitting method, and then cover the container with a glass cover.

③Germination: Remove the glass cover in time after about 30-40 days of germination, and place the plant in a sunny and ventilated environment.

④Transplantation: After 10-11 weeks, transplant the small plants into soil with good air permeability, so that the roots are just covered by the soil and the small bulbs are exposed outside, and apply nitrogen fertilizer appropriately.

3. Maintenance points

Keep the soil moist, but do not allow water to accumulate near the roots; fertilize once every 10 days, and apply less or no nitrogen fertilizer during the flowering period.
